    On Monday, defense lawyers in the federal corruption trial of a former Pennsylvania state senator, Vincent J. Fumo, demanded that the judge declare a mistrial after a juror posted updates on the case on Twitter and Facebook. The juror even told his readers that a "big announcement" was coming on Monday. But the judge decided to let the trial continue, and the jury found Mr. Fumo guilty. His lawyers plan to use the Internet postings as grounds for appeal.

  • The New York Times recently highlighted the dramatic change in many families' mornings, noting that kids are hopping on Facebook while Mom and Dad are checking up on e-mail and Twitter the minute they wake up. 
  • Most firms that analyze Web traffic note that things slow down overnight but spike pretty high first thing in the morning—especially for websites that are consumer or socially oriented. Text messages in the morning are even up—according to Verizon, texts sent between 7 am and 10 am rose 50 percent year-over-year.
